Ahh, those sampling days timing with butterflies from dawn to afternoon, butterflies are very good at ajusting activity patterns with environments.

New in @AnimalEcology - Butterflies respond to habitat disturbance in tropical forests through activity shifts - happy to see this one out, wonderful work led by @ShannonXing & @wangda999 https://t.co/mdAbyGuBGU

Light pollution is creating novel photoperiods for organisms to navigate, with consequences for circadian timing. But will these impacts be distributed evenly across the globe? 🧐

Our preprint describes a new biogeographic theory ~!

Dr Michael Boyle, Dr Adam Sharp, @Lou_A_Ashton @bonebraking @HKUSBS show reduced abundance of undescribed beetle species in logged Borneo rainforests. Unknown tropical insect biodiversity appears less resilient to human-induced environmental change. https://t.co/cEG8HiswKe

In this study we investigated patterns of plant beta diversity during secondary succession in Lowland and Montane subtropical forests in Hong Kong 🌳🌿🍃

My 2nd work on ant biogeographic regions is now published in @NatureComms! https://t.co/0sPthk40ad We show the complex biogeographic relationships among different taxa and the value of including insect groups in global bioregionalizations! @HKUniversity @HKUSBS

More capterillar work! New paper with
@Lou_A_Ashton @barba365 in @AnimalEcology. We looked at top-down and bottom-up effects from assemablge level in a seasonal rainforest, we found seasonality and whether caterpillar is a concealed feeder very important https://t.co/frOlruy6zD

[wangda @wangda999]

And so many amazing caterpillar's life history documented in this process ! it was really fun!

Great oppertunity to work in Hong Kong and Yunnan, the field sites are amazing!

Our work is now out in @InsectDiversity! We looked at how thermal trait, trait space and niche structure of ground foraging ant assemblages respond to thermal constraints in land-use change from forests to rubber plantations. Co-first with @chimanleong

My last thesis chapter finnally got published with the help from @ShannonXing @barba365 @bonebraking ! we used 4000+ butterfly records in southern China, asking whether tropical butterflies (don't like cold) have ways to cope with cool weather in their northern range margins

[wangda @wangda999]

We found butterflies are quite adaptable to different environments. Tropical butterflies bask more often under the sun and have larger thorax compared with co-occuring butterflies with wider ranges (which are known to cope well with cold).
